Executive Authority On Constitutional Morality In India: A Critical Study

Abstract

All authorities established by the Constitution are meant to be devoted to the Constitution and not to a political party's affiliation. The concept of constitutional morality is losing its key component, which is to uphold the Constitution and any laws passed in accordance with it. We shall understand the role and duty of an executive authority namely the Governor under this manuscript. The state's designated governor is expected not to abuse their position by failing to carry out their duties. The Governor is arbitrarily using their power since they have immunity from accountability to everyone except the President. It is time, the Governor be subjected to checks and balances and held accountable for their actions. We may try to understand and distinguish between political morality, political parties' affiliation and constitutional morality.  To maintain the essence of constitutional morality, the recommendation provided by the Sarkaria Commission & Punchhi Commission must be executed. We will be undertaking doctrinal research to understand how the Governor's actions as the Executive authority affect the concept of constitutional morality.
